Music.

Greening Up All Over!
By Mike Holden, ARC Chair
The rains have finally come and things are growing and
greening up all over looking full and lush!
Yards are looking green and healthy again. If your lawn is not
looking full and lush, there’s probably something not right,
and you should be discussing that with your lawn maintenance
company! With all the growth, there are new issues, of
course! There are a number of locations in Lake Ashton where
trees and parts of trees seriously overhang the streets and cart
paths. This can cause vehicles to swerve to avoid them, and
some of us are not as agile as we used to be in getting out of
the way! Fronds and branches can scratch paint on vehicles
and cut skin on unsuspecting passengers! If you have any like
that on your property, please direct your tree maintenance
people to trim the fronds back away from our roads and cart
paths for safety!
In some cases there may be a need for the HOA to work with
others to trim up the trees on common areas. Please feel free
to refer any you see like that to your ARC Representatives for
follow-up action.
As always, your Architectural Review Committee is looking
for a few more volunteers! Let us know if you can help us in
keeping LA looking good!

Pet Co-op
By John Sawyer
The October Pet Co-op dinner will be held on Wednesday,
October 12 in the Ballroom. This will be our first meeting
without benefit of the restaurant or bar. Hopefully the new
restaurant and bar will be able to serve us in November.
Happy hour begins at 5 p.m. and will be BYOB. The dinner
is at 6 p.m. and will be catered by Sonny’s Bar-B-Q. The
menu will be pulled chicken or pulled pork, coleslaw, baked
beans, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, garlic toast, peach
cobbler or apple cobbler. Tea, lemonade and coffee will be
provided. The cost is $14 per person which includes gratuity.
Payment must be made at the dinner by either cash or a check
made out to the Pet Co-op.
Guest speaker will be Denny Mitchell, a goodwill
ambassador from the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa. Big Cat
Rescue is the world’s largest and most diverse collection of
rescued exotic cats. Denny will tell us all about Big Cat
Rescue and how you can tour this amazing place. He will
also answer any questions you have about Big Cat Rescue
and its more than 100 big cats. There will be a raffle of
several “special items” at the dinner, which will benefit the
Big Cat Rescue.
Don’t forget, you don’t have to own a pet to attend the
meeting. All animal lovers are invited to come hear about
this amazing place that is located right in our backyard. You
can still sign up at the Clubhouse Activities Desk or online at
ashtonliving.net to attend the meeting. Because of the outside
catering, reservation must be made by October 9.

Health and Wellness Update
By Kristie Renardson, RN CPT,
Health Concepts
FAT LOSS MYTHS
Information from Sports
Workout Weekly; Nick Nillson
Fat-loss is a topic that is just rife
with myths, misconceptions, and
incorrect beliefs. Here are five
common fat-loss myths that
could be holding you back from
achieving the fast, effective
fat-loss your body is actually
capable of.
Fat-Loss Myth #1 – Diets
Don’t Work
Diets actually quite often DO work (even the Hollywood
South Beach Crab Taco Cookie Diet). It’s just what happens
AFTER the diet finishes that’s the problem. The metabolism
has been slowed down by prolonged low caloric intake
without proper training. And then when the person goes back
to their “normal” eating, they go back to their NORMAL
eating…the eating that added the extra fat in the first place.
A “diet ” is a tool that can be used short-term for a specific
purpose. The LIFESTYLE is what you do when you’re not on
a specific diet and THAT is where people generally go wrong
and then blame the diet.
Fat-Loss Myth #2 – Eating Very Low-Calorie is Bad For
Fat Loss
Another outright myth…eating very low calories (and even
complete fasting) can be very GOOD for fat loss. It creates a
much bigger caloric deficit, which in turn forces the body to
rely on stored fat for energy.
The trick here is that you don’t want to eat very low-calorie
like that for LONG…never more than a few days. When you
eat very low-calorie for long stretches, THAT is when you run
into trouble with metabolic slowdown.
Fat-Loss Myth #3 – “I Want To Get Toned”
NO training is going to get you “toned” because that doesn’t
exist. Getting “toned” simply means building muscle and
burning fat. You can’t tone a muscle any more than you can
paint a cloud. You have to build the muscle to have it and you
have burn the fat so you can see it. To really make a
difference in shaping muscles, you have to lift a weight that is
challenging but not one that could injure.
Fat-Loss Myth #4 – High-Rep Light Weight Training is
the Best Training Style to Burn Fat
Here’s the thing…light weight, high-rep training CAN be
effective for burning fat while preserving muscle IF you do it
correctly. If you flail around and don’t push yourself, you
won’t see results.
The key to achieving results is that you have to push yourself.
This isn’t light-weight EASY high-rep training that
accomplishes nothing. This is HARD -light-weight, high-rep
training that burns while you’re doing it, prolongs that burn
then makes you end your sets because you can’t hold onto the
weight any longer.
Fat-Loss Myth #5 – To Lose Fat You Have to Totally
Deprive Yourself of the Foods You Love
Totally wrong. You DO have to CONTROL yourself and not
let food control you, but the LAST thing you want to have in
your head while you’re dieting is that you’ll never be able to
eat the foods you love again.
And that is where the concept of the “cheat meal” or “free
meal” comes in. When you’re on a fat-loss program, you
actually SHOULD have a cheat meal where you eat those
foods that you LOVE to eat but are probably terrible for you .
The key is that you PLAN when you eat these foods – you
don’t ever let it happen by accident.
Take Note ! Additions to the Group Fitness Classes at the
HFC Community Center
Attendance at all group fitness classes is picking up. We love
it! You can look forward to two classes coming back in
October. Kim Zimmerman will be teaching ZUMBA on
Mondays at 1 to 1:45 followed by YOGA at 2 p.m. So have a
light lunch and meet Kim on the dance floor at the HFC!
Laurie Heaverly and Brittany Amann shared a great
presentation in September on Personal Training, general info
and benefits. There are four Certified Personal Trainers on
staff at Health Concepts….Kim Zimmerman, Laurie
Heaverly, Brittany Amann, and myself. Our approach is very
similar and can be modified to help you meet your fitness
goals. Visits are 6 for $270 or 8 for $335. A three session
“Pump up Your Current Program” (for those already
committed to a fitness routine) is available for $125.
